Summary
Over six years of game development experience across all aspects of video game art production with a focus on player experience, optimized game art, and team communication.
I'm also highly motivated, easily adaptable, great at problem-solving, deeply passionate, well-organized, excellent with communication across team disciplines, and open and willing to take on any task while still learning from others in a highly dynamic environment.
I have also worked as an instructor over the last six years teaching game development with a focus on 3D modeling and environment art with the Unreal Game Engine, AutoDesk Maya and Blender.
As a lead instructor, I've also managed student teams to create games in Unreal across disciplines at iD Tech's Academy division. I've managed staff as well as a Director and lead game design instructors as they taught classes at our Columbus location.
I want to help make the best games possible!
